Lyrics
With her hair hanging over her shoulder, a warning be taking from me, not intending to stay very long
A warning be taking from me, and before you have time to get sober
the case against us
You d think she was queen of the land, a watch she pulled out of her pocket and slipped it right into my hand The, and the gentleman swore to the jewelry
As i dandered along on the highway, far away from my friends and companions to follow the black velvet band
And before you have time to get sober, we had plenty of happy amusement to make the long evenings go round, and the gentleman swore to the jewelry
And beware of the sweet little damsels that are hanging around in tralee, a watch she pulled out of her pocket and slipped it right into my hand Makem, bad luck to the black velvet band
It was clear, we had plenty of happy amusement to make the long evenings go round
A watch she pulled out of her pocket and slipped it right into my hand, which caused me to leave from the land Tommy, a warning be taking from me
the case against us
And the gentleman swore to the jewelry, on the very first day that i met her Black, before judge and jury next morning
You re landed in van dieman s land, and beware of the sweet little damsels that are hanging around in tralee
for seven long years transportation
And the gentleman swore to the jewelry, not intending to stay very long
With her hair hanging over her shoulder, for seven long years transportation Makem, you d think she was queen of the land
An apprentice to trade i was bound, far away from my friends and companions to follow the black velvet band, it was clear
i met with a sweet little damsel and she coming tripping along
it was in the town of tralee
I was hunted to van dieman s land, and the gentleman swore to the jewelry, it was clear
for seven long years transportation
I was hunted to van dieman s land, and the gentleman swore to the jewelry, which caused me to leave from the land
We had plenty of happy amusement to make the long evenings go round, i met with a sweet little damsel and she coming tripping along
till misfortune and ruin came o er me
Far away from my friends and companions to follow the black velvet band, they d treat you to whiskey and porter until you re not able to stand, they d treat you to whiskey and porter until you re not able to stand
Far away from my friends and relations to follow the black velvet band, bad luck to the black velvet band The, before judge and jury next morning
you d think she was queen of the land
a watch she pulled out of her pocket and slipped it right into my hand
Far away from my friends and relations to follow the black velvet band, bad luck to the black velvet band
and her eyes they shone like the diamonds
You re landed in van dieman s land, the case against us
And beware of the sweet little damsels that are hanging around in tralee, an apprentice to trade i was bound Black, the case against us
